I was driving through the night
|
Into an endless tunnel of fog
|
When it dawned on me something was wrong
|
I was in a trance, hypnotized
|
|
Bored beyond belief, I was listening to the same old song
|
I know every lick, every word every nuance
|
I'm on first name terms with the crew
|
But I'd better get used to this poop du jour
|
Sure as hell they won't play anything new
|
|
Oh yes, I love you really
|
Classic Rock Radio
|
Oh, my dear it's time for bed
|
Time for you to go
|
Everyone is asleep
|
|
The pirates took to the water stole the charts
|
But sadly that didn't go down well with those upstairs
|
Who require loyalty, the establishment considered
|
That the uncontrolled appreciation of music
|
|
Was a danger to royalty, the mighty empire roared
|
As Cash 'n' Everitt on the high seas
|
Looked like they'd get blown out of the water
|
They did of course eventually come ashore
|
As meek as mice or to be more accurate as lambs to the slaughter
|
|
Oh yes, I love you really
|
I stand to attention
|
Oh, Fanny, I love you dearly
|
Something else I should mention?
|
You sweet thing
|
|
Let's not talk about MTV
|
I don't even want to start
|
I want to take a look at Classic Rock Radio
|
We're talking about the state of the art
|
|
Mr Grover 'n' Mr Gillian
|
You musta made a million
|
The night that Frank Zappa caught on fire
|
Could you tell us all about it
|
|
Keep it short and use my version
|
Or everyone out there'll think I'm a liar
|
We can speak about bananas for one second
|
|
Just because I understand
|
You have to get them off your chest
|
But in the meantime while you're talking
|
Could you do some more of these here ID's
|
And then this station might maintain some interest
|
|
Oh yes, I love you dearly
|
But why do you exist?
|
Oh yes, I love you really
|
Is there something that I missed?
